Last week was pay week at most of the collieries heieabout and buslners has been quite brisk. August was the beta working month the collieries have had for a long time, and last week's pay was consequently somewhat laiper than usual. The workmen have pild up their last month's stoic bill and have placed l.uge ordeis for goods. It Is said most of the companies will p.i again this week, and the men being then paid up to date, the end of th's week will doubtless llnd many of tho-e anious to woik leaving here foi other pal ts in "onich of employment.

Queer Iteglon Bordering the Banks of the Great River. I"rcm the Chicago Record The Hon. J. C. Harris, of Lake county, is the largest land owner In Tennessee. He has lecently under taken the colossal scheme of draining Reelfoot Lake and every cieek and bayou along the Tennessee side of the Mississippi river. If the ptojeot proves successful, It will add some hundicds of thousands of acres of land to his holdings. The lands of Lake county aie the richest in the state, the soil being ten and twelve feet deep, with the rich accretions of ages of overflow. An idea of their value Is conveyed from the fact that the an nual lent per acre Is $5 and often mote than a bale of cotton can be ob tained to the acie. The hundieds of fisheinien who se em o their livings fiom the fishing in the lake and ilveis have Joined to jjethei and secured an Injunction re straining Mr. Hauls tiom the big pioject of draining the lake, and an Impoitant legal battle will result. The fisheinien allege that Mr. Hauls has no title to the lands coveted by water and that the leal nwneis aie the Daugheity heirs, none of whom can bo found. When the earthquake of 1S11 occiuied that land where Reel foot lake was foimed belonged to the Daugheity grant, but the heirs de sponded of ever leclalming It, and thev have been lost to sight for many yeais, Other claimants in lecent oais sold heir title to Mi.

Every effort is being made by The Tribune to have the contest conducted nnd concluded In an Impartial manner, nnd to this end a ciicular letter has been pre pared, which will bo mailed this morn ing to each contestant. This letter sets forth the arrangements for the closing day, nnd the mlcs adopted to avoid any possibility of dispute or dis satisfaction. It rends as follows: To tlio ContoitjnH in The Tribune's educational Contest: As thp end cf the contest approaches It vclll no doubt pleae jou to tmc a (ull eTplanatlon in to tho arraiiKenients (or the closintr dav.

Contestants who send repoits by mail will be ircdlted lor all that beir a postmark at the postoflhe of deposit of 8 p. m or earlier. In this connection it is important to notice tint Ictteis left at the postoftice are frequently not postmarked at once, and it will lie necessary to Hsterltiin just how- lone; before the hour of 8 a letter should be dcposlicd in order to insure its belnir properly stamped In case of ties, the one who succeeds in first scoring the? number of points will have the first choke of a special lew aid The hour of making the leturn at The Tilbune ollke or the postmaik will decide. 1 roni now until the close it Is advisible to mike returns prompth' and thus avoid confusion and possible enors on the last day.

Thanking sou (or jour continued Interest snd ejinist eftorls in The Tribune's l.ducatlonal Con test, jnd wishing jou the success jou merit, we beg lo remain Cordially jours, The Tribune Publishing Company. So far as It Is possible to foreee, these conditions cover all points that aie liable to arise, but should thero be any others to decide, a ruling will bo made which w 111 apply equally to every contestant. Saturday's returns made several changes In the standing. Miss Jennie Myeis. who succeeded in gaining third plnco Fildny, was obliged to relin quish it and diopped back to fifth, but as Miss Myers failed to send In any points on Saturday, blie Is quite likely to make a return today that will materially advance her total. Oli ver Callahan and Arthur Kcmmoror weie the two fortunate contestants who passed Miss Mj-ois, tho former returning to his old station as No. 3. Hnny Reese succeeded !n passing Miss l'annlo 13. Williams nnd is now in ninth place, only ono point behind 13ugeno Iinlnnd. A letter was received from David C. Spencer, of Uloonisburg, vesterday, too late to bo included lu tho above repent. I'nlcss some of those above biin make good lotuins today, he will move up seveial places tomorrow mm plug I..irt week wns the best Jims far ot tho contest, 1SS more points having boon si ored than tho piovlous week, which up to now was the banner wtok In nil !!9 points wcio sec ured bv The Tilbunc's hustling contingent of young men nnd women. A large amount of shifting about has occurred during tlio week and changes In all positions rv opt tho first two h,uo taken place, sonio of them being but for a day and othei.s for longer per iods. II maybe iiiteicstiug to the pub lic us well as I he contestants them selves to fully lev low Iho changes that have occuired ',11110 last Monday illuming. Tlu Hist position was then In hi by Charles Itodrlgue, who has boon In possession of It since the con test In gan. and ho still holds the cont rol table margin of titi points over Duvld V. Hlrtley, bis nearest oppo nent, who also maintains the place ho held at the beginning of last week. Then, as now, Mr. Hlitley's most for midable1 neighboi was Oliver Callahan, who was fi" points behind hlni. This place was held bv Miss Jennie Myers on Saturday, but Call.ih.ni wins It back today, and is now ." points below Hlitloj. Fouith place was held on Monday inclining by Arthur Keiiuner ir, who. pftor shifting mound a lit tle, is again in that place, 15 points behind Callahan. Fifth pluco was then hold, by David hpeiuer, but Is now occupied by Mlsa Myeis, who came up from eleventh to third plare during the week, but diopped two positions Saturday. Mr. Spencer, who cm last Monday was fifth. Is now sixth. Miss Mnry Yeager. who was ninth uu the first day uf lost vv rente. Is now seven! h. and Kilgorte Holand, who was sixth then, bar dropped be hind to eighth. Hnuv Kecse, who was seventh, has stuck close to Uo. land, and still follows him In nlntt position. Miss Fannie Williams haf also lost a little ground dining I hi week, and Instead of being eighth as she was last Monday, Is tenth, nnl Miss Crtaco Slmrell has lost ono note' nnd Is In obwenth place. Tho roi follow as they did at the boglnnln of last week. The points scoiod during the' wee by tho contestnnts were numerous 1 the nggtegato. The latgest numbi was biought In by Miss Jennie My 01s, of Lake Ariel. 70. Tho next, older, wore David V. Ulrtloj', 41J Charles Itodrlgue, 41: Arthur Kom motor, 3S; David C.

It will bo notlce( tlint although sovei.il of tho contest" nnts failed to advance In the list dun lng tho week, thy neveitlielesi scored many points, nnd their tlrelesf efforts and laudable ambition, if cone tinned through the remnlnlng days are quite likely to bo rewarded al tho end of the current week.
